Minilaparoscopy is the major contribution in the hybrid and practical way to perform Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery, the new surgical revolution in minimally invasive surgery. My opinion, Minilaparoscopy Assisted Natural Orifice Surgery makes a difference and is here to stay.

If this new procedure can be used to switch Boehner's mouth with his anal orifice with minimal disruption then I am all for it. I understand they are interchangeable anyway?

A repeat of this 'study' in a couple of years will show the mini procedure to be superior. Just the fact that a failed mini procedure doesn't necessarily require an open procedure will be enough.
